Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am really enjoying learning the script through these copybooks even though it is so simple. It takes me back to my school days when we practiced cursive, which I thoroughly looked forward at the time. I wanted to address something that a number of people had commented on regarding the quality of the paper. I am using a fine mechanical pencil for practicing the strokes in the copybooks. The purpose of the practices in these books is to create the hand/ brain connection: for you to get the feel of making the movements. It is not necessary to use pen and ink, and in fact, I think that it is distracting as you would be trying to master two things at once. For that reason my suggestion is to use a mechanical pencil that is fine ( it will stay "sharp" like a nib pen ) and focus on getting the form down. If you feel excited to try pen and ink, you can certainly do that with the appropriate paper as a separate exercise. My second suggestion is to skip the first row on each page of the copybook. Start on the second row and continue to the end moving along in a fluid relaxed manor. (Preferably in one sitting). Then when you get to the end of the page, go back and complete your practice on the first row. It is fun to see how far you have come by comparing the second row (your first practice row) and your first row (your last practice row), and also see how close you are the the sample row above. It is reassuring to see how, when I worked in a relaxed way, there was a lot of improvement from first to last. My hand did begin to get the "feel" of the movements! Enjoy!
